The tasks of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence grow more complex with every year,
with the emergence of new technologies and new types of threats. New approaches are required to enable
greater flexibility, precision, timeliness and automation of analysis in response to rapidly evolving
threats. Ontology-based technology as applied in areas such as bioinformatics has demonstrated the
possibility of gains along all of these dimensions. The time is ripe to extend these gains to other spheres.

This conference will bring together experts on ontology-based technology with particular experience
in the problems facing the intelligence community. It will feature invited talks from prominent ontologists
and intelligence community leaders, as well as submitted papers focusing especially on the creation of
public-domain ontology resources to support the work of intelligence analysts.
